Datsyuk ended an 11-game goal-scoring drought. The Red Wings swept their three-game season series with the Oilers.

Trailing 2-0 after two periods, the Red Wings dominated the third, outshooting the Oilers 12-6 and getting a pair of goals to tie it.

The Red Wings converted on their third power play in the third period, when Niklas Kronwall was credited for a goal at 14:07, when Petry fired a rebound into his own net. It was Kronwall's fifth goal.

Valtteri Filppula scored the Red Wings' first goal, lifting a backhand shot from the slot over goaltender Devan Dubnyk's right shoulder at 4:27 of the third period. It was Filppula's sixth goal of the season and second goal in as many games after he had missed seven games with a shoulder injury.

Taylor Hall and Sam Gagner scored goals to give the Oilers a 2-0 lead after two periods.

Gagner made it 2-0 at 16:18 of the second period. He fought off Kronwall to pick up a loose puck that Jimmy Howard couldn't smother following a shot by Nail Yakupov and fired it in the net for his 11th goal.

A frustrated Howard fished the puck out of his net and flung it down the ice.

Howard made several good saves earlier in the period to keep it a one-goal game. He made stops on Hall and Magnus Paajarvi within the first 1:07 of the period, after they made moves to beat Jonathan Ericsson and Brian Lashoff, respectively.

Later, Howard made a sprawling Dominik Hasek-like save on Ales Hemsky, after he made a slick play to pass to himself by firing the puck off the boards.

The Red Wings, despite being outshot 16-9 in the period, had some chances. Kyle Quincey and Pavel Datsyuk rattled shots off the post.

The Red Wings were out of sync in the first period, especially the first half of it.

That was evident when Hall was allowed to skate right down the middle of the ice untouched and snap a wrist shot past Howard to open the scoring at 3:34.

Hall split the defense of Kronwall and Ericsson, while the forwards failed to back-check, allowing the young star easy access.

Strong penalty killing preventing the Oilers from doing further damage as Detroit killed both Edmonton power plays.

It was the Oilers' first home game since Feb. 23, as they returned from a nine-game road trip, during which they went 3-4-2.
